Without regular time on the pitch, Rojo will feel a move away from the club is a good decision for him at this stage in his career.

He is one of few old-fashion defenders left, a player that fears no tackle and will always give 100%. Simply put, Southampton don’t have a player like Marcos Rojo and he would undoubtedly improve things defensively.

The 28-year-old needs to be playing and at Southampton, he could seize the perfect opportunity to do just that.

A loan deal is surely something that will suit all parties and at the end of the season, Southampton could be delighted with the deal as the Argentinian international had a major part to play in keeping them up.
